RECENr SOUTHERN LITERATURE.

The article on "The Recent Move
ment in Southern Literature" in Ifar-
pers Magazine for May, is alike graft
flying to the pride OF the Southern peo.
pie and satisfying to the curiosity Of
Northern readers. It's author max es
no preiension to au exhaustive treat
meni OF this subject, aud he has even
left unmeniioned the names Of some
of the most famous OF living Southern
writers. In attempting to give to his
brief article both a critical and a bio
graphical character he could not have
hoped to escape some omission, or TO
furnish complete analysis of the
literary qualities OF those writers whom
he has admitted 10 his roll of honor.
In considering the subject of recent
Southern literature several interesting
questions occur to us, For example,
what special causes account for the IN
creased literary activity OF the South
within the last twenty years? What
are the distinctive traits of Southern
literature? And, finally, what intfu-
ence is Southern authorship likely to
have upon the general development oi
literature in The United States?
To the first Of these questions, MI
Coleman, the author o! the article be

rect answer. Before the war Of seces.

had happened at Mrs. Whitney's, but
they could not find out exactly what.
Everybody they went to professed ig.
nOrance, but it was believed to be a
stupid attempt to keep the scandal out
of the newspapers, Some professional
gossips winked knowingly and gave
the story shove, SO that before mid
night there was the greatest sort of a
sensation, which Mrs. Potter gave a
color to by confessing naiveiy that
some people might think the poem Off

and it was such Il touching little thing
she did not think people ought to be
offended. Her part was vel! played,
and she enjoyed it, but 1 got scared a,

the plays on the stage, and the people
who heard it recited at Mrs. Whitney's
did not suspect any impropriety till
the papers began TO talk about it, when
of course they chimed in like the three
old crows. Mrs. Potter was delighted.
Within ten days every newspaper had
her name in it, and her recitation was
discussed at almost every dipner-table
in the land: Nobody ever had a better
advertisement, and it didn't cost 4
cent. 1t was the turning point Of her
iife.'

THE FUTURE OF OUR BOYS,

Mr.. Noah Brooks, whom all the
boys will recognize as one Of their best
friends, and as one OF the most Inter-
es:ing writers for the young people of
this country, comments ina forcibie
way on aquestion of ever pressing inn
portance in the current issue OF the
Epoch.
1t is, s'What shall be done with our
! boyso" He finds the learned profes-
sions full, and many avenues of work
either crowded or closed. The sea,
which formerly gave occupation to
thousands of brave American boys, is
now sailed by vessels manned by for
eigners. The employments once wholly
filed by male youth are now largely
occupied by women. These include
clerical positions, private secretary
ships, and the like. 1t is true that the
new order of things makes competition
sharper, and gives boys fewer changes: ::
but this country is so large, and its in.
terests aud demands SO muitifarous,
that there is always something for ev-
cry one to 90. 1t stands 10 reason that
all boys cannot achieve wealth and
fame; but as the years go, by the pro-
portion OF the fortunate ones will con-
slantly grow larger. What is needed
more than anything else to add to the
usefulness and honor of coming genera.
,ions is a higher and fuller appreciation
of the dignity Of labor.
We have in mind the experience of
a Maryland boy who was left several
thousand dollars by his father. He did
not squauder it, as many boys would
have done, but he determined to spend
it all, and he did it in such way that
it became the very best investment
that he could have made. He went
into one of the railway shops of the
city at nominal wages, and paid the
rest of his expenses out of his little for
tune. He learned att he could in a
practical way thore, and then entered
first class school of technology. BY
the time he graduated his money was
all gone, but he was able to earn his
way. He kept on learning, and the
consequences was that he soon rose to
an excellent position, and to day he is
in receipt of a splendid salary, and is
considered ono of the best men in his
profession in the country.
! Mr.. Roberts, tbe wonderfully able
and astute president Of the great Penn.

chain carrier in a surveying party.
! Mr.. Frank Thomson, the vice-president
Of the same road, was an apprentice in
! the Altoona shops. MIR. Samuel Spen-
! Ger, of the y. & O., and one of the best
railroad men in the country, was a
clerk not many years ago at Camden
! Station. Instances iunumerable could
| be cited, and the mora! Of them all
| would be TO learn trade, and TO trust
TO industry and application for prom o.
| ton. The future Of our boys is the
future of our country. We have not
the slightest doubt that it will be bril-
liant and substantial; bat the individ-
ual cases Of marked success must AL
ways depend upon the capacity and
industry of the individuals. Boys who
look upon life as serious problem,
that must be worked ont and not
played out, are able 10 take care Of
themselves. The idlers, who expect tc
live on money which they do not earn
are the droncs in the great nationa
hive Of industry. ,ScicniVc american

Henry Labouchere, in London Truth,
gives dig at Worth's gowns in his
remarks about Mrs. Brown Potter.
He says: 81 see it stated in some OF
the criticisms that her dresses were
made by Worth. ] have always re-.
garded this man-inilliner as a bad
dressmuker, and il is due 10 him that
taste in dresses hes become vitiated,
Bot even If he were able 10 make
dresses bcfit,ing ladies in "A drawipg-
room, he would not be able to dress u
woman for the stage, because neither
ho nor any other drcssmaker (unless il
be theatrical cOStumcr) understands
that what Is pretty in drawing room
loses all its effects on stage. No,
only are Mrs. Potter's Worth dresses
unsuitable to the part, owing to their
expensive character, but they do not
suit her, as seen from the front OF the
theatre, far too straight up and
down.

bones of great antiquity. Accompanied
by Mr.. Coplen / went 10 the spring
where the relics were dug out. II Is
located on low strip of springy
prairie. The excavation around the
spring is twelve or fifteen feet deep
and thirty or forty across. The bones
were covered by several distinct
layers.
The first layer was ancient peat;
then gravel. then volcanic ashes.
then layer of coarse peat.
From this spring were taken no less
than nine elephants. of different sizes,
the remains of cave bear, hyenas,
extinct birds, and a sea-turtle. The
